Determination of high-sensitivity troponin

Troponin - T is the most specific laboratory marker of damage to the heart muscle, which is determined during myocardial infarction. In uncertain cases, determination of Troponin-T can help to confirm or exclude the diagnosis of myocardial infarction. Therefore, whenever a myocardial infarction is suspected and the ECG does not show its typical changes, it is recommended to perform a Troponin-T blood test. Troponin-T concentration increases 2-4 days after the onset of a pain attack and only then begins to slowly decrease. This is what makes Troponin - T different from other tests for myocardial infarction, the indicators of which increase only on the first day.
